Originally published in 1916, this book presents a selection from
the Jatakas translated into English. The selection was made 'with
the purpose of bringing together the Jataka stories of most
interest, both intrinsically, and also from the point of view of
the folklorist.' Notes and illustrative figures are also included.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Jataka
tales and Indian literature.

What if all the world around us unfolds in certain ways while we,
human beings, constantly tell ourselves different stories about it?
What if what we call human understanding is nothing else than
stories we make up about some of the world's events, stories that
are for the most part either flawed or incomplete? And if that is
the case, to what extent do we do so and why do we even do it? What
if we have always been living more in our stories than in the real
world? These are some of the important questions John H.T. Francis
addresses in his new trilogy The Story in Three Parts. Faithful to
his multi-disciplinary approach, intricate treatment of the
subject, and modular and open style, the author looks at the
existential role of the Story to human beings. Each part of this
Trilogy highlights the central role of the Story to human meaning
and understanding in a different way: simply through a story (Part
I); in a theoretic-philosophical way (Part II); and in a practical
way (Part III).
